    摘要: The present invention generally provides a gas delivery system adapted for positioning near the process chamber. More particularly, the present invention provides an apparatus for processing a substrate that includes a process chamber and a gas delivery system. The gas delivery system is in fluid communication with and is adapted to supply one or more process gases and/or carrier/purge gases to the process chamber. The gas delivery system is positioned proximal the process chamber within about two to three feet of the process chamber.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for removing native oxides from a substrate surface is provided. In one aspect, the apparatus comprises a support assembly. In one embodiment, the support assembly includes a shaft coupled to a disk-shaped body. The shaft has a vacuum conduit, a heat transfer fluid conduit and a gas conduit formed therein. The disk-shaped body includes an upper surface, a lower surface and a cylindrical outer surface. A thermocouple is embedded in the disk-shaped body. A flange extends radially outward from the cylindrical outer surface, wherein the lower surface of the disk-shaped body comprises one side of the flange. A fluid channel is formed in the disk-shaped body proximate the flange and lower surface. The fluid channel is coupled to the heat transfer fluid conduit of the shaft. A plurality of grooves are formed in the upper surface of the disk-shaped body, and are coupled by a hole in the disk-shaped body to the vacuum conduit of the shaft. A gas conduit is formed through the disk-shaped body and couples the gas conduit of the shaft to the cylindrical outer surface of the disk-shaped body. The gas conduit in the disk-shaped body has an orientation substantially perpendicular to a centerline of the disk-shaped body.

    摘要: The present invention provides for improved liquid vaporizer systems and methods for their use. Vaporizer systems of the present invention are likely to be particularly useful for the vaporization of liquids having a relatively low vapor pressure, such as TDMAT. In one preferred embodiment, a liquid vaporizer system (10) includes a vaporizer unit (16) having first and second inlets (50 and 60) and an outlet (62). The vaporizer system further includes a vessel (22) having an inlet (70) and an outlet (72), whereby the vessel inlet is operably connected to the vaporizer outlet. The vessel contains a plurality of passages (78) which operably connect the vessel inlet and the vessel outlet. In this manner, liquids and/or gases flowing into the vaporizer unit through either or both of its two inlets, exit the vaporizer unit outlet and enter the vessel inlet. Liquids and/or gases pass through the plurality of passages and exit the vessel outlet. In this manner, heating vaporizer unit and vessel to desired temperatures results in the vaporization of the liquid, such as liquid TDMAT.
